Where SEO Audits Fall Short

Traditional SEO audits flag errors but miss why you’re invisible in search. Our SEO visibility audits diagnose the signals that matter for rankings and AI citations.

You’re publishing content and building links, but visibility in Google and AI results stays flat.


 Checklist reports fix tags and speed, not the retrieval signals that drive rankings and citations.


Weak topical coverage, thin internal linking, and patchy schema confuse engines about what you should rank for.


Teams spend months on low-impact tasks because the audit didn’t prioritise what actually moves visibility.

The Four Layers of a Visibility Audit


We test how well your site communicates relevance and trust:

  • Keyword targeting and topical coverage — are you answering search demand in full?
  • EEAT (Expertise, Experience, Authority, Trust) — are your signals strong enough for ranking and retrieval?
  • Internal linking and hierarchy — does your site guide engines to your most important content?
  • Backlink profile — does your authority come from the right places?
  • You’ll know exactly how trusted and authoritative your site looks to Google and AI search engines.

    Search Signals & Authority
    Technical issues silently block visibility. Our technical SEO audit checks:

    • Crawlability, indexing, and robots directives.
    • Site performance, Core Web Vitals, and speed bottlenecks.
    • Schema and structured data accuracy.
    • Mobile optimisation and accessibility standards.
    • Sorting technical SEO foundations ensures your content can actually be found and understood — which is where we go next.

    Content isn’t just text — it’s the framework that tells search engines what you stand for. Our SEO site audit looks at how well your site structure supports visibility:

    • Do you have coverage of the key topics in your market, or are gaps holding you back?
    • Are thin, duplicate, or outdated pages weakening your authority?
    • Does your navigation and URL hierarchy make it easy for engines (and people) to follow?
    • How do Google and AI engines interpret your sitemap and topical ecosystem?

    With the right architecture, search engines understand your site, users find what they need faster, and your most valuable pages get the visibility they deserve.

    Content Architecture Harton Works

    Search never stands still — and neither do your competitors. Our audit shows you the wider context shaping your visibility:

    • Which SERP features (snippets, video, maps, shopping) dominate your space.
    • Whether you’re being picked up — or ignored — in AI Overviews and citations.
    • How competitors position themselves and identify their gaps.
    • Emerging shifts in ranking signals across your industry.

    Instead of a static report, you’ll come away with a clear map of where you’re losing ground, where you can take market share, and how to stay ahead as search evolves.
